Silent Prayer
Child in warmth or cold.
War and homelessness
with Christmas
please no more
We all deserve light.

Children must be
warm and safe
Around the Christmas tree.
No more pain and war.
Feeling safe.

Cold white winter night
sharing food
open presents
classic Christmas Eve.
That’s how it’s supposed to be.


Shell✨🐚
Wishing all of you a peaceful Christmas weekend and a blessed and safe time.
I hold you in my hands.
Caress your skin.
I can’t wait, to begin
This journey with you.
What does it have for me to bring.
So many mysteries, history,
so much knowledge,
stories untold.
I stay at home and visit the world.
Meet all kinds of people I can’t let go.
A library filled with the world and more that’s out there.
I visit the universe and colour some dreams.
Want to touch the moon and
steal me some stars.
Beautiful book with unspoken words.
Teach me everything, show me the core.
Of what is this living without your wisdom to explore.

Eden’s….
And while she was sleeping the  sleep of angels, he watched her from afar.
When she started dreaming
he lay softly by her side.
She was what he once longed for to hold close by.
Once before the curse of all curses
took over
and changed his being that once was…
Her beauty was in the making
She was his daylight star.
He would like to take her up to the heavens, fly with her to catch her a piece of the sky.
If only she knew that he was her Eden.

He couldn’t wait for night to fall.

She was dreaming that she was flying
On the back of her trusted friend.
Higher and higher he would take her making sounds of excitement
wishing it would never end.
She would laugh, hold on to his majestic wings and threw her head back ,
her hair flying
in the wind.
This was her partner, she felt in her heart. Her trusted love from forever.
As was written in the stars.
Then she would wake up with a smile.
Knowing… he was out there.
Watching, protecting and waiting.

She couldn’t wait for night to fall.

Melody of life
Angels humming quietly
Soft melody of the divine
Song in children’s happy laughter
travel up through clouds and rain
to gates of cherry blossoms sky.
Melody of love and sadness
In the hearts of everyone.
Deeply hidden in baby’s innocence.
Going all life long
Till in old men broken smile.

Suddenly, unexpectedly.
So much sadness.
She is  inconsolable
Dark December for many.

Simple things
I don’t need diamonds
I don’t need wealth
Just pick me a flower
for me to smell
Show me the moon
to caress my eyes
Play me a song
to sing in my heart
Give me your love
to elevate my soul
I’ll be happy
wherever I go.

Pure love.
The wildflower liked being in the wild.
Flourishing in silent peace while dancing in the wind.
Like a rose in the vineyard.

He watched the rose but
didn’t pluck her.
She didn’t belong to him.

His heart full of love.

Sometimes love means to watch from afar and let her flourish in her own way.

Autumn magic 🍂 🍁
Lay me down on golden song.
To be gently kissed by a silk breeze of cold.
Shivering trees are watching.
Yellow orange lights,  flickering.
Giving a coziness.
Inviting togetherness going into the white.
A warm hug is needed as is a mug of hot cocoa.

Bedroom eyes.
Her eyes blinked with butterflies
Deep within…
They were
Fluttering.
Giving her this longing.
She was falling
Higher and higher.
Aching
was the passion
to hold you
In her arms.
To be taken away and
let the butterflies fly.

Falling in love is a special thing.
It’s pure in its innocence.

Early morning sky.
Velvety morning rise in the West.
Apricot-skin like, you appear.
While half moon is still here.
You announce the sun
to greet the moon before she goes.
To shine her tender light elsewhere.
Ocean waters change with their interplay.
Peaceful beach morning awaits.

Grateful to see another day rising.

To just be
Being in love with life,
with love.
Love for living things.
Nature, music,
You,
who I haven’t met yet.
Like
a melody I haven’t heard yet.
Warming my heart already,
making me happy.
Just waiting to be born.

And there I was, in a colorful world.
Listening to the song of
nature.
Watching all kinds of animals and all kinds of people together in harmony.
Wondering where all the water was.
Then I recognized you.
You are my mother, my brother
my sister
You are me and I love you
Human being.

Autumn vibe
Hear the
calming stream of falls falling.
Streaming of breathing lake,
through land of colored leaves.
Feel the cool breeze caress you while
morning light is still asleep.

Terracotta colours shine
in flickering shades of lights
on orange pumpkins everywhere.
Scent of candles still around
Trying to hold on to passed night.
Earthy fragrances everywhere
yes  Autumn's time is here.

Birds already calling day
while sun is still in hiding.
Chirping to young ones waiting,
letting know they’re
on their way.

Sounds of autumn early morning
Promise of a silver song.
Let’s embrace this season’s charm,
time to say Thanks once again.
Having roasted turkey, cinnamon pie and sweet potatoes.
Togetherness and laughter.
Sharing  joy between loved ones
Christmas time is near.

Don’t forget the ongoing wars. Let’s pray for all the innocent ones. Yet another year without Christmas for so many.

You have to fall in love with living first,
with moon and sun and stars.
With all kinds of human beings,

All night long under the light of moonshine.
Until the twelfth hour.

When you know you know.
Then all the lights went out.

Coocoo calling owl, dogs barking.
Baby cry from afar.
I was at peace.
I had the light within .

Soon only a memory.
In twilight’s light
another day is passing
Like a little sailboat on open waters.
Sinking sun slowly fading.
Looking through the frame of life I see
different pictures passing.
Seems like yesterday I came through dark waters.
Embracing light of life full
of sunshine full of rain.
Soon the time will come as twilight time is over.
Stepping into night of life
to meet the light of darkness.
Pastel view, soon yesterday’s
memory.
Smelling blooming fragrance and the scent of fresh coffee
while life is growing older.

Yesterdays, yesteryears
Soon only a memory of you.

When you lose  someone you realize even more how we all will be a memory sometime.

Mona Lisa triste
Truth and sadness are always silent.

Mona Lisa , Mona Lisa
Men must have just told you
How beautiful you are.
What all seem to have missed
is the sadness behind the smile.
When you look
throughly and  sincerely
you can see the pain within the eyes.

We all have a little bit of Mona Lisa inside.

Sadness is part of living. How often we smile while being intensely sad.
Standing in the shadow of life.
I watch others flourish in warmth of light.
Happy to be part of this wonderful world.
Full of color and sound.
Giving me peace just being.
Enjoying all little things,
miraculous and beautiful.
I’m mourning but still
blooming from gratitude,
living inside of me.
For everything that is and was.

Silent bird
The bird sat still
For years.
One wing was free.
First moving wildly,
while the other was tied down.
The bird learned through watching.
Fed by the wind.
To survive this flightless life,
still full of light.
Never reaching potential heights.
Now set free he didn’t even know how to fly anymore.
There sits a still bird still.
Watching.
Wondering what it’s like
up there .

Pearls of blood in eyes of Mary.
Waves of sadness hit me all the time.
What once was, now gone without a proper goodbye.
Pray for health to watch you grow,  bud of life.

Live life with grace and elegance.

Always staying in the wild.

Making me blush and bloom
while waiting for you.
My moon.

Ultimate freedom’s music.
Singing the song of harmony.
Welcoming you,

Lost,

Then she heard a song
A tear fell from deep within
She remembered him.



Shell✨🐚
Clear moments of our loved ones who are lost in their own.
He left, his bride I was.
It’s silent…..everyday.
No Melody inside.
Trust died and there is only fear now.
No confidence anymore.

Abandoned…. I was standing there in distress.
I could hear my heartbeat, the sighing when the wind was still.
Sunbeams were cold on my naked skin.
I felt like an empty canoe on open waters.
Waiting ….
Suddenly without destination.
Weeping is all I could do,
bridal tears falling.
Cry me deep waters and I want to drown.
Reflection of pain like branches heavy  with dejection.
Hanging low, longings of what once was.
Now lost.
See….
Weeping willow along the lake.
You see me.


Shell ✨🐚
Many are lost when a loved one leaves.
Ancient history always here
It’s part of us , we carry it everywhere.
Melancholic melody of life
coming back to us time after time.
It’s in the song of breath
of all living things
and the silent memory of our lost loved ones
We never will forget.
As long as there is Mother Earth there will be flowers everywhere,
as there will be wars no matter what.
Because ..
we don’t listen, we don’t learn.

Flowers for young girls everywhere
Young girls for young men how they care
Young men for wars to fight for peace.
Because that’s what they have
to do .

Mothers lose sons
Women lose loved ones
Young ones lose fathers
Field without flowers
Taken
Only graveyards to see
Graveyards to reach peace.
And then everything went silent.
Left, a heart filled with pain
Eyes filled with tears.

Then, song on repeat
Field of flowers once again
Ancient history today next to where we stand
And the young girl runs once again
to pick some flowers
from a field with blooming colors

In every flower lies the spirit of all of holy ground.
Those who gave their lives come see them when you watch a field of flowers.

Live your life , don’t be afraid of the unknown.,
You are on the battlefield
Killing another human being
Do you know him?
Throwing bombs and firing missiles.
Killing innocent children.
Innocent just like yours.
Don’t you have children in your family?
Do you feel good doing this, satisfied?
To be the cause of so much pain and sadness.
Look at each other on the battlefield.
You two are the same.
Killing for peace.
You won’t die a hero.
There are no winners in war, only losers.

Blushing moon
I’m taking the highway through nature
to fly me to the universe.
Finding black holes leading me into other galaxies.
To find my own milky runway cherry blossom moon.
Where portals are being opened
far beyond existing cotton candy clouds.
and where stars are nearby.
Where the moon is a reflection
of a blood sun.
Purple moon with golden halo
why are you blue sometimes.
Disappearing on your dark canvas
making me a moonless night.
Come out and shine your pink moonbeams on Earth,
making Earthlings blush
under your charming creamy eyes .
